T.Rex

Cardiff, 15th February, 1971


Monday 8th Feb 1971, Top Rank Cardiff, Slade were to have been the original support band for T.Rex, but there was a row leading to accusations in the music press that Bolan had prevented them from playing'. We don't have a gig for this date yet, they were in the country, Wolvo the night before, so it's quite possible the group had a night off at home?

Which gives us the opportunity to take a look at what Slade's biggest competitors were up to during their heyday, before Slade "stole" their crown!
